Are you looking to spend more time outdoors and meet new friends?

Here at Outwood Social, we organise a calendar of solo-friendly social events across Shropshire, so you can spend more time having fun and building memories with new friends. The majority of our group come along solo, so there is always plenty of likeminded, friendly people to get to know.

From outdoor adventure, walking, food and drink, co-working and lots of socialising in-between, there is plenty to choose from. Our weekly calendar of events are tried, tested and organised by our Outwood Social ambassadors. All you need to do is sign up and turn up and we’ll take care of the rest.

Our purpose is to inspire and encourage more people to connect with each other and their local community. As a registered SOCIAL ENTERPRISE, we are committed to supporting the social and environmental wellbeing of our members and the local area.

Our events are open to everyone – all fitness levels, experience levels, from first timers to adventure seekers. 

Outwood Social. Building a community that people love.

MEET LEANNE

Join Our Community!

Hi. I’m Leanne and I’m the founder of Outwood Social.

Outwood Social came to me because quite honestly, I needed it. As I’m sure many of you have experienced, making new friends as an adult is really difficult – I joined club after club, committing to one sport after another, trying to find balance and variety.

I wanted to experience something different each week. I wanted to explore new walking routes, but I didn’t have the confidence to go alone. I wanted to grow as a person and learn new skills, but I’d lose hours researching where to go. And alongside all of this, I wanted to have fun and make lifelong friends.  I remember thinking why is this so hard? So, in May 2021, I started a community that does just that and I haven’t looked back.

If you’re in a similar position to me, then this is your sign to make the first step and join our next event. I know it can be daunting the thought of meeting a group of strangers, but from the first hello, you’ll be made to feel at ease, and you won’t regret it. After all, everyone is in the same boat.

I look forward to meeting you at our next event.

Leanne
